Featuring DATEL’s ultra-wide, 18-72V, input voltage range, this new Family of
A-Series, TWR (triple-output) DC/DC converters deliver up to 15 Watts. These
devices each have a primary +5V output that can source from 1 Amp to 1.8 Amps
(model dependent) and auxiliary ±12/15V outputs that can source from ±150 to
±250mA (model dependent). All models can simultaneously source maximum rated
current from both primary and auxiliary outputs. The nominal input voltage for each
model is 48V.
As members of DATEL’s new A-Series, the 12-15W triples exhibit both low cost
and outstanding long-term reliability. Their design combines straightforward circuit
topologies, proven SMT-on-pcb construction methods, the newest components, and
highly repeatable automatic-assembly techniques. The A-Series TWR’s superior
durability is substantiated by a rigorous in-house qualification program that includes
HALT (Highly-Accelerated Life Testing), which is designed to detect any potential
electrical, mechanical or process weakness.
Packaged in standard, 2" x 2" x 0.45", shielded metal cases with non-conductive
coatings, these fully isolated (1000Vdc minimum) DC/DC’s offer excellent line and load
regulation. Additionally, these A-Series triples have non-latching output current
limiting, input overvoltage shutdown, input reverse-polarity protection, and output
overvoltage clamping to protect both the power converters and their loads. All
A-Series TWR models are fully EMI characterized and designed to meet UL1950,
IEC 950, CSA 950 and EN60950.
